LSU's Kim Mulkey talks recruiting of Russian forward Anna Minaeva

LSU women's basketball newcomer Anna Minaeva made headlines when she joined retooled front court for head coach Kim Mulkey. She explained what the coaching staff saw when recruiting the 17-year-old Russian phenom. "We watched her on film and first thing I think Bob [Starkey] and I noticed is she has tremendous footwork for a big girl, so whoever was working with her in Russia has done a tremendous job," Mulkey said. "She has good hands." Minaeva committed to the Tigers over the summer and immediately joined the team in Baton Rouge.
